The truth about nitrate (in winter vegetables). From cancer myth to lifesaver
Josef Voglsam is Marketing and Sales Manager at Voglsam GmbH in Hofkirchen in Upper Austria, where he has been working with organic fruit juices for many years. The Voglsams are a family business that has been producing natural, health-promoting products from regional fruit and vegetables for over 50 years (now in its third generation). Due to his own health development after burnout Josef has since worked through hundreds of studies on this topic and is in close contact with leading scientists worldwide. His aim is to pass on the latest scientific findings in the field of vascular health and performance directly to people and motivate them to adopt a healthier lifestyle.
Content of the presentation:
Let me give you some background: for several years now, I have been offering interviews and talks with experts in September to remind people to sow or plant winter vegetables, the chance to grow them all year round. When cultivating winter vegetables, it is always emphasized that the typical leafy salads such as rocket and spinach contain more nitrate than summer vegetables. The organic balcony movement was repeatedly told that it was lower in nitrates,
- do not grow the lettuces in a greenhouse, but in the open so that they receive as much light as possible
- with less use of nitrogen, so do not fertilize
- Harvest in the afternoon/evening, especially on sunny days.
This was repeatedly emphasized in the articles on the cultivation of winter vegetables, without going into scientific studies on the health benefits of nitrate or maximum quantities. As a result, many people have a diffuse fear of nitrate, which Josef Voglsam now addresses.
Josef Voglsam explains why a diet rich in nitrates is important for our cardiovascular system. A lack of nitric oxide (NO) is one of the most underestimated causes of high blood pressure — and with the right lifestyle and nitrate-rich vegetables such as beet and leafy salads, anyone can counteract this. Josef keeps saying: Eat your greens! The recommendation to eat nitrate-rich vegetables for your heart is safe. Enjoy spinach, beet and lettuce without fear.
Josef Voglsam, an expert in organic fruit juices, thoroughly dispels the widespread nitrate myth: Nitrate in vegetables is not dangerous, but vital — it is converted into nitric oxide in the body, which lowers blood pressure, improves blood circulation, can slow down arteriosclerosis and even boosts sports performance. The cancer accusation against nitrosamine stems from animal experiments that are not transferable to humans and has been refuted by later studies. Nitrate-rich vegetables in particular — spinach, beet, rocket, lettuce — are especially valuable in winter and should be eaten without fear and as fresh as possible. So if you grow winter lettuce, spinach or rocket on your balcony or in a tub, you are not only growing your own fresh vegetables, you are also doing something excellent for your heart and blood pressure — don’t worry about nitrates.
